A week is too long to wait...

Apologies that it has been a week (actually 8 days) since my last post. I think when I get around the "extra-busy-seasons" I may convert to a once-a-week post.

Today I got to spend some time with one of my closest friends. It was like taking a drink of cool water. I was reminded after I dropped him off at home how important a good friend is, especially for someone in "the ministry."

I have a lot of people that I can hang with, but not too many people I feel I can really trust with who I am. The one thing I know about my friend is that he won't judge me for me. He's a listener and an encourager, alternately sympathizing and kicking me in the butt - which is exactly what I need.

I am thankful for my friend. I hope that you have someone you can be real with.

By the way, check out a cool podcast from my friend, Randy Elrod. He is a mentor to some arecording artist you would know and he allows us to eavesdrop on their conversations once a week. Very cool, Randy. Thanks to you, too, for being a good friend to me.
